Bergvliet - Meadowridge - Kreupelbosch
Bergvliet, Meadowridge and Kreupelbosch are often called BMK by local residents as they share a lot in common. These are very sought after Constantiaberg suburbs in Cape Town, South Africa. Bergvliet means “small mountain stream” in Afrikaans
Bergvliet was formerly a large farm owned by Simon van der Stel. The original farmhouse of Cape Dutch design still stands on a large property on the Western border of Bergvliet.
The Bergvliet Farm, as it is known, is a very beautiful place with a small natural pond which is also a tiny bird sanctuary.
Meet the BKM Team
A dynamic mother, daughter duo.
Cecily has proudly been in the property industry since 2006, twenty years and counting, dedicated to Bergvliet, Meadowridge, Kreupelbosch and Constantia. After a first career as an Oncology Nursing Sister, she brings a natural warmth and caring nature into an arena that often needs compassion and empathy to sail stormy seas.
Many industry awards and much personal fulfilment later, she remains as passionate about finding the right match between Seller and Buyer as ever. As a Qualified Property Practitioner (NQF4) and Master Agent, Cecily brings unmatched experience to the process, backed by a supporting cast of legal, financial and creative marketing expertise. And if she doesn’t know the answer, there is always someone a WhatsApp away who does.
On the personal front, Cecily is a wife, mom of four grown-up children, sports fan, great cook and best friend, a lover of wine, reading, hiking, animals and quality time with family. Her life is best summed up by Bessie Anderson Stanley:
“She who has achieved success has lived well; laughed often and loved much; has gained the respect of little children; has filled her niche and accomplished her task; has left the world better than she found it; has always looked for the best in others and given the best she had.”
If the prospect of selling your home feels daunting, she understands. If it feels like something to approach with fear and trepidation, let her hold your hand. Cecily’s confidence is contagious, and you will feel you’re in a partnership, not just a bystander in one of the most significant transactions of your life.
Julia came to property the long way round, and that is precisely what makes her so good at it. After years navigating the deeply personal, high-stakes world of luxury wedding planning, alongside experience in marketing and recruitment, she arrived in the industry with something many agents spend years trying to develop: the ability to make people feel genuinely calm and cared for, even in the middle of one of the biggest decisions of their lives.
It could be said, though, that property has always been in her blood. Growing up with a mother who has been one of the area’s most respected property practitioners for nearly two decades meant that long before Julia ever listed a home, she understood what this work truly asks of a person, the patience, the empathy, the commitment to getting it right.
A lifelong resident of Kreupelbosch, Julia knows these streets, these schools and these neighbours. Bergvliet, Meadowridge, Kreupelbosch and Constantia are not just her patch, they are her home. She and her husband are regulars on the walking paths of what locals affectionately call the Garden City, the kind of neighbourhood wandering where life gets talked through and goals take shape. That familiarity is something no amount of research can replicate.
What her clients consistently say is that nothing falls through the cracks, that she is always reachable and always honest, and that somehow the whole process felt less overwhelming than they expected. That is no accident. It is the result of a strategic mind, a creative eye and a genuine commitment to keeping people informed every step of the way.
At the heart of it all is a simple belief: property is not really about bricks and mortar. It is about trust, relationships and the people who make a house a home.
